-People who ask for my help and then try to argue with me or tell me why their way is right. You're not really asking for my help---you're just wanting someone to agree with you because you have the slightest bit of hesitation but you end up being completely wrong and don't want to admit it.
-People who don't take notes and then ask you things over and over again.
-People stupid enough to lie about something easily verifiable. Someone did it last week and since I'm working with this person, that implication would be on ME so I printed out the reports that show that in fact, this person is still the same liar that they always were. Don't play with me.

I was about to post this same thought. I have a colleague like this now that is getting in my way. After making a big stink about how I am "wrong" he takes my recommendation. This colleague is actually an awful person. Hopefully management realizes it. I am on my way out the door.
I just hate the banal small talk that usually happens on Monday mornings or Friday afternoons.
Favorite line: "the weekend wasn't long enough"
or
"ugh it's Monday " herr derr herp!!1!
On a more job-related thing, you try to come up with something that's impressive and implement it quickly..everyone benefits, but the busy-body manager says that it's missing a piece that really doesn't matter. So the end result is something that loses all the great I made earlier for something inferior.
A person who doesn't want to learn has no place in IT.
I cannot understand this attitude. I'm not keeping this kind of people in my teams.
I don't understand it either. I go to colleagues who know stuff that I want to learn and ask them to show me. I take notes. How do you think I learned SQL in the first place?!?!?!
The guy who said that to me is a severe idiot. He's just another warm body job-stealer here on contract filling the "skills gap."
Oh and if a man has a problem, issue, frustration, etc, with another man or women, he clears the air and says it to their face not behind their back.......
Sorry to take all the fun out of this thread..
At the place where I work, men are just as gossipy as the women, one not more than the other. The reason men tend to speak up and say what they want outloud is because they can get away with it.
I hate brown nosers, lazy people, suck ups, and people who take advantage of the company because management let's them.
I'm an IT consultant, and most of my clients are very decent and considerate. However, there are the a handful that I have trouble with, mostly from male IT guys who don't like the idea of having a woman encroaching on their space ... in this case, their datacentre.
And neither do they like taking orders or recommendations from me because as far as they are concerned I'm just a bimbo who should go back to the kitchen or behind a desk taking phone messages.
Another frustration is the expectation levels from some clients in terms of getting projects completed as soon as possible, and as cheaply as possible, even if it means taking short cuts (i.e. not performing proper testing before going live).
3) People who try to use brown-nosing tactics (Hint: it doesn't work on most secure leaders)
4) Gossips (I generally find these people more work to do)
5) People who are chronically whiny/negative (venting is okay once in a while but geez...)
All of those are pretty annoying, along with people who are short-sighted.
